Bert has made a discovery the past couple days. He's been watching me leave in the morning for quite a while and finally figured it out. I take the big black thing every time I disappear. So his answer to that is simple. If he sits on top of the big black thing, I can't disappear. He's done this the past 2 days. I come into the dining room to grab my purse and there sits Bert, on top, watching my every move. Pretty logical for a little kitty but there's one flaw in his logic. A really tall Mom can pick up little cute kitties and then get the big black thing to disappear all day. Sorry Bert.

The past month has been really depressing. I go to work, come home and knit while watching TV and go to bed. Repeat. It's been a month of waiting for spring to appear and mostly just waiting for the sun to appear. I've decided the weather has affected me more than I thought it would. Friday morning they hadn't plowed my street before I headed to work and I even got stuck in the street briefly as I tried to get going in the morning. There's also been some things at work that have not been pleasing and they also caused a less than cheery mood.

Anyway, this isn't an all sad story. This weekend two things happened. The sun decided to come out on Saturday. What a glorious event. We've been waiting for it forever and it was a welcome sight. The other thing that happened was a family gathering. My cousin's daughter and family came up from Chicago for a visit. We all got together and met the newest member of the family - Layla's brother Jaydeen. He's now 6 months old and a very happy little boy. We had all sorts of little kids running around playing & making noise and who can feel down when all that is going on.

Now they're talking possibly more snow/showers on the way but I've had my little vacation from the snow and depressing weather and now I'm a ready for the week to come.

But, really, I AM ready for a long term sunshine and nice weather. Please.

About Jill

I'm owned by 2 cats, Chief and Bert. They allow me to spend as much time as I want knitting, quilting, and hanging out on the computer as long as I keep part of my lap free for them.
I used to own a shop where we helped people with their fiber arts needs. We had classes and supplies for knitting, machine knitting, quilting, and other sewing.
Right now I'm in corporate America but finding my way back to my passion. This blog is my journey back to knitting and quilting with plenty of cat stories thrown in.
I'm on Ravelry as JillsKnit. This has been my Internet name for over 10 years. It came from shortening the name of my former shop - Jill's All Sew Knit.
